An Odd for an Oddball

Hey folks. I'm out of school sick today. I spent my morning lounging in my basement in my owl pajamas, wrapped in a blanket, watching Full Metal Panic! and Mythbusters (both of which are among my favorite things in the world; I'll post about them eventually.)
Then, I decided to have lunch.
I didn't really expect much. I was foraging around in my kitchen, looking for something both delicious and nutritious, when I opened the freezer and stumbled upon a box.
A suspicious box.
A box full of Indian food.
Now, it's snowing, I'm still wearing my owl pajamas, and I'm about to do my very first food review. Yeehaw!
This was the box:
Amy's Indian Paneer Tikka. Organic, gluten free, amazing. We have this wonderful Indian restaurant in our area called House of India, and this boxed food is almost on par with the restaurant meal.
In my opinion, the best part of this package was the Aloo Palak (spiced spinach and potatoes) that came with it. As Skynugget will certainly tell you, I freaking love potatoes. I make her make me some every time I go to her house (XD). Indian food with potatoes in it has always been one of my favorite types, and this meal certainly does it justice.
You might expect the rice in such a meal to turn out flavorless or dry, but if you follow the instructions on the box properly, it turns out nicely steamed, with flavor provided by cumin and carrots. Delicious both mixed with the tomato sauce and on its own, it surprised and delighted me.
I was happy the entire time I was eating this meal. And that's pretty good, considering that I'm sick and I sort of feel like crap.
If you like Indian food, you should seriously get some of this. It's awesome.
By the way, the title of this post is sort of a reference to Kodocha, which is one of Skynugget's favorite series ever.
And now for the obligatory random picture of the day:
This was taken by me in Virginia. I've never been inside, but I hope it's a damn good buffet.
That's all for now, folks. Now I'm going to go play some of that accursed game (you guessed it, Final Fantasy X) and drink lots of fluids so maybe I can feel better tomorrow. Roar.
